The first time you visit the Ebionite Page, you may have seen strange spellings with
accented characters or symbols, usually known as "Extended ASCII Characters."
Well, we use some even stranger characters on the Ebionite pages! :-)

Sometimes English characters just can't do justice to Hebrew, so transliteration is used;
we also use a Palaeo-Hebrew font; and eventually, other special symbols will be added.
But, please, view the pages with the font installed!

Using the Font

If you are using a web browser that supports fonts display (Netscape 3-4.01, and Internet
Explorer 3.00+ have been tested favorably), you can install ebyoni.ttf the same way you do
any other font, through the Control Panel in Windows. In Windows 3.1, Control Panel is in
the Main group icon in program manager (check your manual if you need more help); in
Windows 95, Control Panel is found on the Start button, under Settings. Font Face tags
have been added in the HTML coding to display the ebyoni.ttf font in the proper places.

This is really the best option to view the correct characters on the pages while at the
same time keeping the same or default font settings in your browser preferences. And this
way you will see our characters, and the standard Extended ASCII Characters (that usually
shows gravé, diereses, umlauts, etc. used in Europe).

The Alternative

The alternative is for those whose web browsers will not display multiple fonts installed
into the Windows (or other operating system using Truetype fonts) system. BUT, the font must still be added to your system fonts as described above!

This is actually the way we originally used the ebyoni.ttf font ourselves, before adding
Font Face tags in the code. You can choose ebyoni.ttf in your browser's font preferences,
as the proportional font.

In Netscape 3, choose Options then General
Preferences. Next click the Fonts tab, then click the Choose Font
button at the Proportional line (the first one).

To choose your font in Communicator (Netscape 4.01),
you go to Edit\Preferences first

then...

If you use Internet Explorer 3, go to View\Options

next...

then...

(Be sure to click Okay whenever each choice is finished, to save the changes and go to the
next choice or back to the program.)

FEEL FREE TO USE ebyoni.ttf and print the table for
character assignments.

If you have successfully installed the font in the operating system (Windows 95 for
example), you should see some transliteration characters and Palaeo-Hebrew below:

Without FONT FACE tag-(You installed as your browser font)

îåìù ÿÁlÕm

With tag-(You installed in the system thru Control Panel, and your browser uses system
fonts)

îåìù ÿÁlÕm

You should see characters like the ones in the picture below:

Sorry, no monospace font or .fon yet. Also other versions will follow with 1) adjusted
palaeo (archaic) character bodies, 2) symbols, 3) square scripts--- but keeping the
transliteration glyphs. Revision date will be shown on the Shalom page, ex.- ebyon.ttf
(1.1.1896). I will also post the font on alt. newsgroups:
